Justin Bieber Retaliating Against Selena Gomez With Yovanna Ventura

HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY why Justin is now hanging out with a hot model and Kylie Jenner, and it has to do with the song he was collaborating on with Selena. Jelena’s split is seriously complicated! Read on.

We couldn’t help but wonder why Justin Bieber was making his outings with Kylie Jenner and sexy fitness model Yovanna Ventura so public, considering how hurtful they must be for his ex Selena Gomez. But the heartthrob singer has a rhyme for his reason, as a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that the Biebs is retaliating after Selena shut down their collaboration!

Justin Bieber: Why He’s Trying To Make Selena Gomez Jealous

Yikes! Justin has done a good job of flaunting his recent dates with a reality star (Kylie) and a gorgeous model (Yovanna) — posting Instagram photos and frolicking carelessly on a beach — and after spending so much of his life trying to keep his personal life private, we had to assume there was a reason for the Biebs being so public. We were not wrong.

“Justin is just trying to make Selena jealous by hanging out with Yovanna,” an insider confirms to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He knew it would get to her if he posted a pic with Kylie too. He’s just acting like a jerk because Selena majorly deflated his ego when they broke up. She told him she wanted nothing more to do with the song they were working on and he just flipped and said she was overreacting.”

While they were still together, Justin had vowed to collaborate with Selena on a song that would “be huge for her career,” but after Selena caught him flirting back and forth with Kylie, she clearly doesn’t want to have anything to do with him. And that’s driving Justin mad.

“He said she was being paranoid about his supposed hook up with Kylie,” the source explains. “Selena just blew him off big time and now he’s trying to play big shot!”

Justin Flirts With Model On Beach Date

“Big shot” Justin shared his romantic beach date with Yovanna on Twitter and Instagram on May 6. The shirtless stud wrapped his arm around the 18-year-old model in the posted pic during a Venice Beach date in which they took in the sun while cozying up together.

That pic came just two days after Justin uploaded a steamy selfie in Las Vegas featuring his two main ladies — Yovanna again, and of course Kylie Jenner.

Talk about stabbing an ex in the back! What do YOU think HollywoodLifers, is Selena buying into Justin’s trick? Are YOU surprised Justin is trying to make Selena upset?
